This article explains how to reinstall software in Windows. Instructions apply to Windows 11, 10, 8, 7, Vista, and XP.

Reinstall/Clean Install Windows 10

You need to identify the program in the list of apps installed on your computer. In most cases, you will then need to completely uninstall the program before reinstalling it.

Open Control Panel. Use the search bar to find Control Panel in Windows 11 and other newer versions of Windows.

Another quick way to get there in some versions of Windows 10 and Windows 8 is with the Power User Menu, but only if you're using a keyboard or mouse. Choose Control Panel from the menu that appears after pressing WIN+X or right-clicking the Start button.
